Yes, I'm in Australia. This isn't the first time I have used a UGC and it was fine before. What it comes down to is that they're charging me for the bonus Zen.
Seismic Shot was the only one I could think of, since it's green. I can see how it's bugging and it makes some sense (it's just one part of the line). Can't say I've ever had it bug on me.
I couldn't agree more with the dungeon design, and the fact that exploiting dungeons seems to be the most common hobby in this game just highlights it... but it also demonstrates the need for both classes to be more distinct and capable. You will never, ever, see someone say "sorry, we don't need a CW, we already have a HR…
I'm well aware that they are both Fighters and that Wizards and Warlocks are not the same thing. The point was that that was the only explanation I could come up with - that eventually every class will be sharing a Paragon Path with at least one other class and that GFs and GWFs are the guinea pigs that will get a unique…
I remember what prompted this now: The new Hawk Companion that comes with the Ranger Pack has an Active Bonus that increases ranged damage by up to 7% depending on distance. I am quite sure there are other, similar situations as well. Something I noticed while playing my Ranger last night is that some attacks simply do not…
Complaining that a GWF can't tank as well as a GF is ludicrous, and this continued attitude is ultimately going to ruin both classes. The GWF is NOT a main tank and never will be because that is what a GF is there for. Complain all you want about your DPS, in fact, you should be loudly complaining about your lack of DPS,…
I quite like my Storm Rider too, but it's the Cleric Initiate (the Tiefling Cleric) that I'm most impressed with right now. I only use her for boss fights and she has died exactly once in 48 levels. I couldn't believe it the first time I saw her walking backwards out of a red circle and avoid a big AoE. I was under the…
I was referring to the tooltip reproduced on the wiki. I asked in-game to verify it but it couldn't be linked in any channel. Don't know if the person linking was just incompetent or if that's another bug, but couldn't mouseover the link in /tell (same as linking something in /zone) and it wasn't showing up in /trade or…
This. A thousand times this. It gives me a sad to go into a dungeon with 4 other HRs only to find that 3 of them never leave archery stance even when in melee.
I think the biggest problem is not in the role that Rangers are supposed to fill, it's in the dungeoneering paradigm of the playerbase. This is a game where the role of "tank" is predominately to run around kiting things instead of standing toe-to-toe with the boss and "DPS is King". The playerbase not only has to "find" a…
The OP's question is currently the most asked question in the game. As nice as this is, the stat's are insignificant. HR melee weapons should be simply unavailable until level 10, in the same way as things like gloves, helms and jewellery aren't available until later.
I am going to have to call this initiative a failure for the time being. The first reason is that the name is far too long to type out for channel switching (unless someone can show me another way to switch channels without using the mouse or typing out the entire name). The second reason is that it is mispelt which makes…
This says it all right here. There is very little in the way of motivation for team playing for anyone except the DC and the only reason he qualifies as a team player is because of his AoE heal. I think the ultimate problem is somewhat similar to Guild Wars 2. DPS is king. Nobody cares about anything else other than the…
What kind of idiotic argument is lore, and why is it being "refuted" here? I get the feeling that a lot of entitled gamers think it is their right to not play a game, but to enjoy the benefits of doing so. Just ask anyone who has ever sold an account on WoW. One wonders whether the real much prophesied WoW-killer is not…
Know what I wanna do? Strut! -- Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk -- It's alright. It's okay. You may look the other way. We can try to understand the Faerun Times effect on man. -- Got the wings of heaven on my Sylph. I'm a Tiefling, man, I just can't lose. You know it's all…
I have a Tactician, but I didn't take that feat because I only have 1 point in Lunging Strike. Wouldn't be able to answer you anyway since GF's are dead weight and even when we do get into MC we get left outside so the big boys in their HV sets can play.
That's what I heard about the Lightning. Essentially if it chains I might pull aggro off the boss even if the DPS doesn't get hit, whereas with the other enchantments the damage isn't enough to draw aggro from the boss when DPS does get hit (unless the "DPS" sucks). My understanding about Plague Fire is that the DoT does…
I debated this myself and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth it because it ends up diluting your stats rather than improving them. You are currently getting 154 Defence, Deflection and Life Steal from your rings, for a total of 308 in two slots. With Hrimnir you will have a total of 180 in three slots. Yes, Hrimnir…
Please, enlighten me as to how Vorpal is of any use to a build with less than 200 Critical Strike. I am not looking to imrove my Mark, and nowhere did I say that. Damage generates aggro on non-marked targets. Now, if you don't have any other stupid comments to make I'd like to hear from people that can read.
